National Science Content Standards
Content Standard
As a result of activities in grades 5-8, all students should develop
Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry
Understandings about scientific inquiry
Content Standard D
As a result of their activities in grades 5-8, all students should develop an understanding of
the structure of the earth system.
The solid earth is layered with a lithosphere; hot, convecting mantle; and dense, metallic core.
Content Standard G
As a result of activities in grades 5-8, all students should develop understanding of
Science as a human endeavor
Nature of science
History of science
.
RI State Standards
Earth and Space Science ESS1(5-8)POC-1 Use geological evidence provided to support the idea that the Earth's crust/lithosphere is composed of plates that move. ESS1 (7-8)-1 Students demonstrate an understanding of processes and change over time within the Earth's system by... 1a) citing evidence and developing a logical argument for plate movement using fossil evidence, layers of sedimentary rock, location of mineral deposits, and shape of the continents.
Earth and Space Science ESS1(5-8)POC-3 Explain how Earth events (abruptly and over time ) can bring about changes in Earth's surface: landforms, ocean floor, rock forms, or climate. ESS1(7-8) -3 Students demonstrate an understanding of processes and change over time within earth systems by... 3a) Evaluating slow processes e.g. seafloor spreading, mountain building to determine how the Earth has changed and will continue to change over time.
3b) Evaluating fast processes e.g. earthquakes to determine how the Earth has changed and will continue to change over time.
